[Fire-sign, love-struck, jealous queen of the screen × Earth-sign, stubborn, wooden CEO]
[Gu Xi, rising star and future queen of the screen (25) × Bai Ci Mu, film and television CEO (28)]
(Early on, a flirtatious queen of the screen relentlessly pursues a cool, aloof CEO. Later, the older woman gently guides and secretly tempts the love-struck younger woman.)
When they first met, the queen of the screen pretended to be pitiful and shed tears at a charity gala. Bai Ci Mu handed her a tissue. “Your tears are falling. Crying here won’t look good.”
Little did she know that before long, in her own room, she would hear Gu Xi say something similar: “Your tears are falling. You look so good crying here.”
Bai Ci Mu: Something about this feels off...

Bai Ci Mu has mild osteogenesis imperfecta. She graduated at twenty-two and founded her own film and television company that same year.
While casting for the first movie her company developed, she not only chose the woman who would become the future queen of the screen, but also someone who would covet her for a long time.
As soon as the movie premiered, Bai Ci Mu flew straight to Italy to recuperate. Three years later, she returned to China to take charge of her company, and the first thing she encountered was the queen of the screen wanting to sign with them.
Bai Ci Mu never imagined that the promising star she thought she’d picked up would turn out to be a wolf in the henhouse...

At twenty-one, Gu Xi met the person destined for her while still at school.
Her first movie made her an overnight sensation. She had planned to find Bai Ci Mu, confess her feelings, and win the beauty’s heart, but by then, Bai Ci Mu was long gone.
That was when the seed of obsession took root in her heart. She spent three years waiting for the day they would meet again, so she could stand before her...
Gu Xi’s relentless pursuit eventually won Bai Ci Mu’s heart, but by then, Bai Ci Mu had already become confused about her own feelings.
Feeling something strange stirring in her heart, Gu Xi still said what she had decided: “I don’t love you anymore, Bai Ci Mu.”
Gu Xi dumped Bai Ci Mu, thinking she would never be consumed by obsession again. But something still felt wrong, no matter what she did. By the time she regretted it and wanted to make things right, Bai Ci Mu had already started a new life...

Bai Ci Mu: Try a little seduction
Gu Xi: Testing my self-control
Bai Ci Mu: Seduce her just a little
Gu Xi: Request to pledge our lives to each other sent
Reader’s guide:
1. This is primarily a romance. I have a stockpile of chapters and will revise and proofread as I go. The plot will not change; I’ll only smooth out the writing and make the story more coherent.
2. Apologies for the stereotypes associated with Earth and Fire signs! The characters’ personalities will take some inspiration from them, with a few changes.
3. Terms of address for relationships and industry-specific information in the story come from online sources. Please be understanding if anything is inaccurate.
4. Daily updates after the paywall goes up.
5. Some elements are author-created, mainly the idea that same-sex couples can marry. There is also a secondary couple, two women.
6. I’ll add more whenever I think of it.
